Five Growing Companies Compete for a Chance at Funding at BVC

RFPIO is thrilled to be a finalist at this year’s Bend Venture Conference in the Growth Stage Competition. This category includes companies that have a proven concept, have generated initial revenues, and are prepared to scale quickly with the investment. The Growth Stage winner is eligible to collect $250,000 or more.

It’s an honor to have made it this far in the competition, and we wish the other Growth Stage nominees great success on their journey.

Hubb (Vancouver, Wash.): Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that automates the business process for collecting, managing and marketing the abstracts, speakers and sponsors for conferences and meetings.

Outdoor Project (Portland, Ore.): The fastest growing media platform in the U.S. for outdoor recreation and travel.

Switchboard (Portland, Ore.): Engagement and giving platform that strengthens alumni and affinity communities by helping their members help one another.

“This year’s finalists include a diverse group of companies, industries, founders, demographics, and geographic locations,” said Brian Vierra, Venture Catalyst Manager for EDCO. “They are all solid, investable companies so it will be interesting to see who walks away with the big checks.”
